Two years after leaving admist controversy, former UNC vice chancellor Matt Kupec is back on his feet.

Kupec has just been named Vice President of Development and Marketing at HelpMeSee, an organization dedicated to eliminating a form of blindness caused by cataracts. He’s been busy in the last two years as well: after leaving UNC, he co-founded a startup called Text2Give, which uses mobile technology to help schools, colleges, churches and charities raise money.

Kupec stepped down from his position at UNC in 2012 after it came out that he’d spent university money on personal travel expenses. Kupec did ultimately give the money back, though – and before that, he helped UNC raise nearly $5 billion in his 18 years as vice chancellor for university advancement.

HelpMeSee is a non-profit based in New York. It specializes in training cataract specialists to perform sight-restoring surgeries for those struck blind by cataracts – an estimated 20 million people worldwide.
